Can a PIO demand the postal charges or the cost of compilation of information from the applicant?

There is no provision to charge for the Cost of Postage or manpower used for the compilation of data. If the documents are too large or spread over multiple locations, the best course of action would be to offer inspection of documents to the applicants.
